What does the Anglican Church of Kenya believe about the ordination of women?

Despite its generally conservative theological stances, the Anglican Church of Kenya (ACK) began ordaining women as priests in the 1980s, beginning with Lucia Okuthe of the diocese of Maseno South in 1983. In 2021 Emily Onyango became the first woman consecrated bishop in the ACK, followed by Rose Okeno later that year.
